SOUND-SYSTEM

INTRODUCTIONThe radio has been designed according to the
passenger compartment's specific characteristics and
with a personalised design that complements the
style of the dashboard.
The instructions for use are given below. We
recommend that you read them carefully.
ADVICE
Road safety
Familiarise yourself with the various car radio
functions (e.g. storing radio stations), before starting
to drive.
Reception conditions
Reception conditions change constantly while driving.
Reception may be interfered with by the presence of
mountains, buildings or bridges, or when you are far
away from the broadcaster.
Note
The volume may be increased when receiving traffic
alerts and news.
WARNING
If the volume is too loud this could be
dangerous for the driver and for
passengers when driving in traffic . Always adjust
the volume so that you can still hear
background noises.
Maintenance and care
Only clean the cover with a soft, anti-static cloth.
Cleaning and polishing products may damage the
surface.
CD
Dirt, scratches or any distortions on CDs may cause
skipping during playback and poor sound quality.
Follow these tips for optimum playback conditions:
❒only use CDs with the following mark:
❒clean every CD thoroughly removing any
fingerprints or dust using a soft cloth. Hold CDs by
the circumference and clean them from the centre
towards the edge;
233
SOUND-SYSTEM

❒never use chemical products (e.g. antistatic,
thinner or spray cans) for cleaning as they could
damage the surface of the CDs;
❒after listening to them place CDs back in their
cases to avoid them being damaged;
❒do not expose CDs to direct sunlight, high
temperatures or moisture for long periods;
❒do not stick labels on the surface of the CD and
do not write on the recorded surface using pens
or pencils;
❒Never use CDs that are very scratched, cracked,
distorted, etc. Their use could cause damage to
the player or make it malfunction;
❒to achieve the best quality audio reproduction we
recommend the use of original CD media. Correct
operation is not guaranteed when CD-R/RW
media are used that were not correctly burnt
and/or with a maximum capacity above 650 Mb;
❒do not use commercially available protective sheets
for CDs or discs with stabilisers as they could get
stuck in the internal mechanism and damage the
disc;❒if a copy-protected CD is used, it may take a few
seconds before the system starts to play it. The
CD player cannot be guaranteed to play all
protected discs. The presence of copy protection
is often indicated in small letters or may be difficult
to read on the cover of the CD; it may say
something like, for example, "COPY CONTROL",
"COPY PROTECTED", "THIS CD CANNOT BE
PLAYED ON A PC/MAC" or may be identified
through the use of symbols, such as, for example:
❒The CD player is able to read most of the
compression systems currently on the market
(e.g.:LAME, BLADE, XING, FRAUNHOFER) but as
these systems are continually evolving, playback of
all compression formats is not guaranteed.
